Named after founder Rolfe Mills, known as Tink, this biodynamically farmed vineyard offers both pedigree and place in every glass, with the added depth that only mature vines can bring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a beautiful ruby-red colour that hints at both freshness and depth. The nose is intensely aromatic, opening with dark cherry, blueberry, redcurrant jelly, smoked bacon, violets, and a subtle charcoal note.\n\nThe palate is layered and complex, with those same flavours unfolding across a deep, textural core. There is plenty of concentration and energy here, finishing long, savoury, and highly moreish. While it already offers plenty of pleasure, it will continue to develop gracefully over time and can be enjoyed now with a few hours of air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTinker’s Field is one of the most important sites at Rippon, planted in the 1970s and home to the estate’s oldest vines. The vineyard is biodynamically farmed, reflecting a careful, low-intervention approach that respects the unique Central Otago terroir. Winemaker Nick Mills matured the wine for 17 months in French oak barrels, including 30% new oak, and bottled it without filtration to preserve purity and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with duck, roast game birds, lamb, mushroom dishes, and richly flavoured salmon preparations. Serve slightly cool at around 14–16°C, and if opening it young, decant for a couple of hours to let the wine fully reveal its aromatic complexity and layered palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRippon is one of Central Otago’s benchmark producers, with a strong reputation for biodynamic farming and site-driven wines from its lakeside vineyard in Wanaka.
